This week I provide the first part of my hands-on preview of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, I review a new game cut directly from the Star Control mold, retro-review the best Bungie game you have never played, answer your Oblivion questions, and so much more. Enjoy!

On the Elder Scrolls forums... some stupid ingrates are all rude about Steve for one thing.Direct linking for another thing, which I suppose isn't very bad since there are credits within the podcast. Kind of.

But then I saw someone say this --

i download at about 120kbps, so it'll take a few min to download, then i'll cut it, and repost the oblivion part somewhere like putfile or my website cause that should cut it from 56 down to about 18 meg, and that's if i cand downsapmle it even farther

EDIT: That TheMystic guy ought to just drop this baseless feud he's trying to develop with Steve.Steve's just does his show. He's not a bad person around here, and he's not begging for stupid fights with random reporters on the other end of the internet. I just can't understand how this has carried on as far as it has.He was banned (if that's even true) for persistently being an ass about that whole situation.Come on, guy. Just put an end to it and it'll be forgotten faster.

I think the best thing for us to do right now is to ignore what is going on at TES forum. All of us have been here for a long time and we know Steve and have listened to his podcasts for a long time. I don't think its doing any good to repost the bad things that are being said over there... on this forum. It just makes everyone angry. We all know that someone is trying to discredit Steve in an effort to boost his own show. Whether or not anyone over there likes Steve or his podcast is irrelevant. What matters is what we think and I'd be willing to bet this podcast will be one of his most downloaded episodes ever. Nothing like controversy to get things going.

One thing I wanted to say is that this is just part one of my preview of Oblivion. This deals with mostly the basic information about the game and what it was like to go through the game for the first hour or so. It also contains some general observations between the differences between the PC and the Xbox 360 version.

Remember, my podcast has tens of thousands of subscribers and not every single one of them is a hardcore Oblivion fan, so I am trying to appeal to a wide audience. People who have never played an Elder Scrolls game before in their life should be interested in the preview and get something out of it as well as the hardcore fans.

However, with that in mind next week I will concentrate on the more "hardcore" aspects of the game, such as the quests, guilds, exploring, and so forth. And if you have any questions about the preview, feel free to ask!

Even if Steve did get some information wrong, he's entitled to mistakes. I mean, it's not like anyone's actually paying attention to Oblivion when the world's focus is turned to Spore.

But seriously, these guys have taken the time to learn everything about Oblivion. It would be like if one of those guys decided to do a thorough segment on Spore. They're not obsessed (Sorry Steve. If it's any consolation, I am too ) with Spore, they haven't learned everything there is to know about it, and they'd get some stuff wrong. But I like to think this forum would be a little more polite to the author of the imaginary Spore podcast.

Not sure what is going on. I have a dedicated server just for this site and I have never seen it have trouble like this before. I guess it's getting slammed by a lot of hits. I'll going to talk to my host and see if I can add some bandwidth and the like to help it out, but it should calm down...
